Chapter Sixteen: Formidable Divine Power
1241 Words
"No need to wait 20 minutes! I can do it now!" Zang Chong perked up immediately, patting his chest excitedly, eager to try.
He had absolute confidence in his ability.
"Are you crazy, you savage? The company commander is giving you a choice to make the competition fairer. I think it's better if you compete against the company commander tomorrow morning when you're at your peak. That way, your chances of winning will be much higher," a chubby, rebellious guy quickly advised.
You see...
Today, this savage ran 10,000 meters and stood at attention all afternoon.
Now he's run another 5 kilometers!
Even an iron man would be exhausted.
Competing against Qin Yuan now?
That's like an old man hanging himself, courting death!
But if they compete tomorrow morning, and he beats Qin Yuan, he can then propose a terrifying condition, letting Qin Yuan know how powerful they are, or... just fire Qin Yuan!
"Yeah, Wild Man, Fatty's right! After all, you're betting the future of our brothers! If you lose, we'll have to add another 5 kilometers as punishment. I've already run two kilometers and my eyes are spinning. I can barely stand, let alone run. Another 5 kilometers... I don't even want to think about the agony..." Han Xiang couldn't help but speak up.
There was no other way.
Cang Chong was carrying their happy future on his shoulders!
If he lost...
The consequences would be unimaginable.
Cang Chong frowned upon hearing this and said angrily, "Rich kid, are you saying you don't trust my abilities?"
Han Xiang quickly smiled apologetically, "No, no, no, the brothers just want you to perform at your best. Better safe than sorry, Chong-ge."
Seeing that Zang Chong was a little angry, Han Xiang quickly changed his tune.
After these ten days of getting to know each other, everyone knew that the most untouchable person in the recruit company right now was Zang Chong, this Wild Man.
If you anger Zang Chong and he punches you, good heavens, you'll be bedridden for at least an afternoon.
Zang Chong stepped forward, glaring angrily at Han Xiang, and said in a low voice, "Let me tell you, this afternoon's training intensity has absolutely no impact on my performance!"
"Oh? Is Zang Chong really that capable? This is an unexpected surprise." Qin Yuan was slightly surprised.
Zang Chong's ability seems to be even stronger than he imagined?
The troublemakers were also shocked.
This Zang Chong…
Is he really that strong?
"Brother Chong is awesome!"
"Brother Chong is amazing!"
"Brother Chong, Brother Chong, keep it up, beat the company commander to a pulp!"
...
The troublemakers were immediately excited!
It seems like they have a good chance of winning this competition.
"Zang Chong, are you sure you want to compete now?" Qin Yuan smiled calmly.
Zang Chong stepped forward, confidently smiling, "A gentleman's word is his bond! I, Zang Chong, never go back on my decisions!"
"Good!" Qin Yuan nodded with a smile, arriving at the starting line. "In that case, shall we begin?"
"Okay!" Zang Chong smiled back enthusiastically.
"Ready, go!"
Qin Yuan gave the order.
Whoosh!
Zang Chong shot off like a rocket, his speed incredible!
In the blink of an eye, he had left Qin Yuan more than ten meters behind.
The first platoon leader immediately panicked, "Company Commander, why aren't you running? Hurry up and catch up! Zang Chong is so fast, if you're any slower, it'll be too late!"
The second platoon leader was equally anxious, "Company Commander, if you lose to Zang Chong, these troublemakers will definitely torture you severely, they might even fire you! If you leave, we'll be in big trouble!"
This competition was crucial to both sides' futures.
Qin Yuan naturally represented the interests of the platoon leaders.
If Qin Yuan lost, they, the platoon leaders, would suffer as well.
A company commander could quit, but a platoon leader didn't have that power.
"The emperor isn't worried, but the eunuchs are! Even the company commander isn't worried, what are you two platoon leaders comparing?"
"What are you two glaring at each other for? If you're not happy,
let's have a match? Who's afraid of who?"
The two's urging immediately drew the ire of the troublemakers. One platoon leader glared at them, about to explode, but was immediately reprimanded. They were afraid of Qin Yuan, not them, the platoon leaders.
"Old Zhao, Old Zhang, don't worry. Zang Chong has been training all afternoon, I have to let him win, right? I don't like taking advantage of others," Qin Yuan said calmly, stretching his wrists and ankles.
"Look at our company commander! His skill is off the charts!"
"Hahaha, company commander, we'd be like brothers, I don't like taking advantage of people."
"Company commander, want a cigarette? I'll light one for you, you can run after you finish yours?"
...
The recruits laughed even harder at Qin Yuan's words!
Each one even tried to stall for time.
"Get lost! I don't smoke!" Qin Yuan shouted directly.
"Hahaha... then company commander, want some water? I'll give you that drink, you can run later, there's no rush." Another troublemaker said with a laugh.
"Drink my ass!" Qin Yuan glanced at his watch, exactly one minute had passed, and immediately smiled brightly, "Since obtaining god-level power, I haven't had a chance to properly test it! Now, let me show you what lightning speed looks like!"
In an instant!
Qin Yuan's troops unleashed their power!
The power contained within his hands and waist suddenly erupted!
Whoosh!
Qin Yuan shot off like a V12 supercar engine!
In the blink of an eye!
"How is this possible!"
"Unbelievable!"
"Terrifying, terrifying! Such speed, not much slower than Bolt, right?"
"I think he's even faster than Bolt in long-distance running!"
...
The troublemakers, witnessing Qin Yuan's terrifying speed, were instantly dumbfounded!
They were all completely stunned!
Completely frozen in place!
Zang Chong was fast, but Qin Yuan was even faster!
Compared to Qin Yuan, Zang Chong was like a primary school student who had just learned to run!
After all, the difference is most obvious on the track!
Especially in a long-distance race, the first place often leaves the second place tens or even hundreds of meters behind!
"Great! Company Commander is awesome!"
"Company Commander is awesome! Company Commander is so cool!"
"Hahaha... Suddenly I'm so happy! Company Commander's going to win this time!"
The troublemakers groaned, but the three platoon leaders couldn't help but cheer.
As the saying goes, it's good to take shelter under a big tree!
If Qin Yuan, this big tree, falls, their future won't be easy!
Seeing Qin Yuan so awesome now, they instantly cheered.
"Chong-ge, give it your all! If you're this slow, the company commander will catch up!"
"What?! With Chong-ge's speed, you're saying he's slow? When did you go blind?"
"Isn't this just making the savages seem slower in comparison? Sigh, I really don't want to run another 5 kilometers."
...
The recruits were a hundred times unwilling, but they still watched helplessly as Qin Yuan overtook Zang Chong on the 10th lap!
"God-level power! It has boosted my entire stats exponentially! Truly terrifyingly powerful!"
Qin Yuan easily overtook Zang Chong, and this was far from Qin Yuan's limit!
"Savage, you've lost!" Qin Yuan laughed as he passed Zang Chong.
"Hmph, I won't admit defeat until the finish line!" Zang Chong refused to give in, instead accelerating even further.
